Defending champions Barbados Yacht Club will be looking to seal a fourth consecutive Interclub Tennis title when they face Paragon in the final on Saturday afternoon at the Raymond Forde National Tennis Centre.
They secured their spot in the final when they emerged 49-43 winners over Pure Tennis in the semi-final. Aiming to deny them glory will be Paragon, whose semi-final victory went down to the wire. Going into
the final match, Paragon not only needed the win but had to limit Summerhayes to three games or fewer in order to reach the final. That pressure didn’t show in the result as a 9-1 victory rubber-stamped their place in the final.
Yacht Club ended the group phase unbeaten and on top of the standings with six wins from six matches and a points tally of 333. Paragon were second after winning five of their matches and losing once to Yacht
Club, leaving them with a goal difference tally of 307. Summerhayes were third after a mixed performance in the group stages, winning three and losing three matches, to finish with 264 points.
Pure Tennis were fourth with two wins and three losses, making their haul 261 points, while Trident Tennis were narrowly fifth with 257 points. Last year’s finalists Tennis Centre and Ocean View finished fifth and sixth, respectively, in the standings, with 249 and 214 points, respectively.
